“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] These so-called debts are actually challenges to the particular personalities involved. [...]

[...] Needless to say there is great fluidity and variety and challenge on the part of personalities and fragments and personality fragments.

[...] The “inner” body can perform in ways that the physical body cannot, and you can use that as a challenge. [...]

2. In connection with Seth’s discussion of animals and men here, see his excellent material in Chapter 12 of Personal Reality. Summarizing parts of that chapter very simply: In Session 647 Seth goes into the challenges early man faced as he contended with his own burgeoning consciousness. [...]

[...] They do not think in terms of impediments, and when one is encountered they simply regard it as a challenge to be overcome, and then forgotten. [...]

Your psychic work has given both of your lives an impetus, direction, challenge, and opportunities for accomplishment that in certain terms at least would otherwise be lacking.

[...] You must also realize the advantages, challenges and peculiar beauties that your own system provides, and that many of your accomplishments as a race are unique.

[...] Most of his material is deleted here, but I can write that her situation was tied in to her work with the challenges presented by her physical symptoms [as described in Note 8 for the 679th session, in Section 1]. [...]

(Here in the last paragraph, then, is a pertinent clue, and one that Jane arrived at without asking Seth: She’s experienced such translation challenges often since beginning “Unknown” Reality — hence her talk before many of these sessions [from the 679th on] about attaining that “certain clear focus,” or “the one clearest place in consciousness,” before she began speaking for Seth.

[...] I’ve discovered that this is great fun — and much more challenging than I’d anticipated, as I try to reduce the shifting, brilliant dream elements to the motionless painted surfaces we’re so used to in waking reality. [...]

[...] We face many challenges of quite momentous nature, and we realize that our purposes are not only important in themselves, but for the surprising offshoots that develop in our efforts to pursue them. [...]

[...] to solve your problems and triumph over your challenges.... [...]

[...] I remarked that the seeming violation of physical laws posed serious challenges to science, and so forth. [...]

...to solve your problems and triumph over your challenges—and the impetus is this: You must not journey into inner reality until you feel secure in physical reality—for you cannot live in two worlds at once unless you are secure in one. [...]

[...] When Jane finished with certain challenges, Seth remarked, “… there will be a ‘birth’ of seemingly new concepts, simply because his [Jane’s] old mental barriers kept him from making certain important connections, and an increasing system of communication between waking and dreaming states.”

[...] Yet beliefs rule all: Evidently, even with all of the challenges that crowding can set up, it’s just as natural for people to congregate as it is for them to live spread out—perhaps even more so, if one facet of their behavior can be said to be “more natural” than another!

[...] A few may contain new insights into our challenges. [...]

[...] These are challenges set, and you are both facing them.

[...] Each person tries out new challenges, new circumstances, new achievements from a unique viewpoint, for himself or herself, and for the entire mass of humanity as well.

[...] Really try to see it as a challenge—the daily reinforcement of trust and belief—so that, again, each of you particularly encourage those emotions of hope and optimism that are so important. [...]

[...] I told Jane I wouldn’t be surprised to walk into the bedroom some day and discover that she had simply died during the night, so resolving her challenges. [...]

([Arnold:] “It is pretty important then that we challenge all of our whole existence.”)
